The U.S. Air Force is preparing to add 1,000 artificial intelligence (AI) jets to its fleet as part of a $6 billion contract that will be awarded to a private developer, new reports have revealed.
The Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) project will feature AI-piloted planes that will be able to fly missions too dangerous for manned aircraft, such as flying just 30 feet above the ground at speeds up to 600 mph, according to the Daily Mail.
The unmanned jets are reportedly going to be smaller than most fighter jets but larger than other drone models and will be able to supplement outdated Air Force fleets.
If successful, it might lead to all tactical fighter aircraft going with AI pilots.
